MuseScore Studio Reviews

I found out that MuseScore Studio 4.4 and 4.6 were installed separately, for some reason. I uninstalled both, then reinstalled the most recent version of MS4 and it stopped crashing :D

With voice-dependent dynamics added in 4.4, l.v. ties and advanced system markings control in 4.5, MuseScore was getting very close to a complete solution for engraving professional looking condensed orchestral scores without needing any tricky workarounds (like a tie to an invisible note to look like an l.v. tie). Now in 4.6, the ability to insert bar numbers below the system or as system markings has eliminated another nasty workaround that was necessary up till now (bar numbers below ALL staves, with all but the last being invisible, and then making them invisible again every time a staff stops being hidden). SMuFL support is another very welcome recent change, and sure, we had some hiccups, as can be expected with a major update, but the glitches were quickly patched, and 4.6.2 is amazing!

From one of the best software for writing notes, after the last update we got some serious crap from the software. The imbeciles were working on the last update

I have been using Musecore 4 actively since the day it was released, but now I can't even use it anymore. The app is plagued with frequent crashes and horrendously long loading times. I've been trying to write new scores, but the app crashes before I can even place down a single note. I love this app and I'm so sad about the state it's currently in. I hope that this issue can be resolved in the near future.

Upon downloading the update and trying to install, I get a message saying it cannot be opened because there is on access to Applications. I have yet to use the new MuseStudio version after having used Muse Score 3 for a long time. I do not appreciate the interruption to a formerly good workflow.

can't even open the app because of the new update

Mac OS, every launch results with crashing after the splash screen

I am not one to complain but this is infuriating. Musescore keeps crashing losing all my work each time I try save. I have been a long time user of Musescore. Please fix this bug ASAP.

playback pizz and arco screw up after updated version 4.6

This version hangs up a lot. Really slowed down my efforts. Some how it deleted a lot of my work. Still don't know how it happened frustrating

Since the pass of Notion , and the growing disinterest in using Cubase, I have found with MuseScore a software program that perfectly suits my needs. While there's always room for improvement, particularly regarding the notation for artificial harmonics, slow glissandos, etc., this software allows me to write down my compositions and convey to conductors and musicians what I expect from a performance on stage. Thank you to the MuseScore team!

For beginner, it's hard to navigate. Need to learn how to 'recognise' note and music symbol. But the software provide more music feature than any free music maker I tried. Great !!!

it sounds realistic unlike some softwares

Once I found MuseScore, I never looked back!

I have been using MuseScore for creative composition for five years now, and it has served its purpose. It goes well beyond the expectations of free software.

It’s the best

I love MuseScore ! Taught me how to be original and true to my music!

Is very easy is good starter

pretty good although it is a pain to manage large scores because even when running on a computer with 32 gb (twice the recommended) it freezes for about 5 seconds, about 20 seconds on my 8gb laptop

this is a spectacular software and trumps alot of the paid ones aswell. they give you so much freedom aswell. truley an amazing software i’ll use for years to come.

I have enjoyed this app, but lately it hangs on playback. What can I do to correct this?

I have downloaded Muse Hub today. Wanted to try Muse Score for the first time. I am completely new to Muse Group and also to the music industry. I had heard about Audacity before, But didn't knew Muse Group owns that as well. 1st experience/impression (vert bad). 1st the Muse Hub was not downloading, then finally downloaded after many minutes. But after 10-15 minutes the Muse Score was finally downloaded on browser. For past 2 hours its still just wasting the bottom part of screen because of that downloading animation here in Muse Hub app. I have a 100 Mbps internet connection. Every other things on my devices are working fine, so the problem is on Muse Hub and Muse Score side.

No issues downoading, the app works nicely. There are a few issues (such as notes not inserting correctly), but overall pretty good.
